Hi All,

We are using webfocus reports in a project that will be rendered via IBM Websphere Portal. The webfocus reports look FINE when I run them via dev studio, but when they are rendered via the portal, the spacing for headings and footings get messed up. The code below shows you what happens. First run the code just like it is here, then run it with the "-*< !DOCTYPE" line un-commented out. The headings do not line up as before.

Is there a setting or a work-around to get webfocus to create html that will work with this DOCTYPE line? I'm not sure I'm asking the right question here, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jim

We use this:
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">


More info here.

I get the same result using this DOCTYPE as the other one. Why does the heading/footing styling go bad when this is used? Is there a way to get webfocus to create html that would work the same with or without this DOCTYPE line?

The "only" reason we use is to FREEZE HEADINGS, along with CSS and anchor settings.

Why are you using it?

I fixed your code so it displays correctly...

  
APP PREPENDPATH IBISAMP
-RUN
DEFINE FILE CAR
RUN_DT/A20 = 'Run Date: ' | '&DATEMDYY.EVAL';
DUMMY/A1      = ' ';
END
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"<RUN_DT<+0>Car Report<+0>Page:<+0><TABPAGENO"
PRINT
CAR
MODEL
DUMMY AS ''

Wrap your code "within" the RED code tags...
